The Flamengo squad went on vacation on May 31, right after the 3-0 win over Coritiba on Saturday (30). After the victory in the 18th round of the Brasileirão, the Rubro-Negro began its break in the calendar due to the World Cup.
Thus, since arriving at Flamengo, Leonardo Jardim has led the team in 22 matches, of which the Most Beloved won 14. In addition, Flamengo’s coach began the World Cup break with five draws and three losses, totaling a 71.2% success rate in charge of Fla.
Finally, under the command of Leonardo Jardim, Flamengo scored 40 goals during this period and conceded 17. It is worth noting that the rubro-negro squad is scheduled to report back on June 19 at Ninho do Urubu.
Now, just like the Flamengo squad, Leonardo Jardim is on vacation until June 19. It is worth noting that the rubro-negro delegation flies to Portugal on the 28th of the same month. On Portuguese soil, the Most Beloved will face Falkirk (SCO), Birmingham (ENG), and Benfica (POR) in friendlies so that the players do not lose their rhythm.
On the trip, Flamengo will be shorthanded, that is, without the called-up players. Danilo, Alex Sandro, Lucas Paquetá, and Léo Pereira are on duty with the Brazilian National Team. In addition, Arrascaeta, De La Cruz, and Varela are with Uruguay, while Carrascal is with Colombia and Gonzalo Plata with Ecuador.
Of these, only Arrascaeta is at risk of missing the World Cup. That is because the player suffered a grade-two calf injury. Now, coach Marcelo Bielsa will decide whether to cut the midfielder or wait and closely monitor the recovery of the No. 10.
